Zalman ZM-WB2 Water Block

[Brian]

Zalman has been alive and kickin ever since they unleashed the Super Flower heatsink back in 2000. The heatsink claimed quiet, yet cool performance which was hard to come by at the time. Three years later, Zalman has extended their product lineup and is producing some of the best quiet heatsinks to ever hit the market. After Zalman's success with air cooling products, they took the dive into water cooling. Zalman now produces the ZM-WB2, a high performance copper water block to cool the latest AMD and P4 CPUs. Does Zalman's quality and craftsmanship carry over from air to water? Well, read on my friend. Read on. NOW!

Also check out our latest feature, a 3D interactive image of the water block!

mmm water... WAIT, wait, I mean 3D... mmmm water...

Damn! That 3D image is awesome!

What camera do you guys use to get that feature?

[Brian]

You can use any camera, it is the software and the turntable thingy that make it cool like that :-P

Basically, there is a turntable that has 10 degree increments, which allows you to take 36 pictures at different angles. Then using some cool software, those 36 images are put together into an interactive movie.

We linked to the companies that sponsored us with the turny thingy and the software, so check em out if you are interested. It's on the same page as the movie.

Thanks for the compliments btw :-D

But just to answer your question, we use a Sony CyberShot P72

Holy... shizzle! That lapping job is insane, and the block itself not only looks nice but perfrms pretty well, if only I could afford myself some watercooling equipment... oh well, my air cooling cools better/on par with that anyways, and it's overclocked and all that jazz. ;)

just buy it and put it on your shelf as a trophy. who needs the rest of the kit? ;)

yeah yeah that was a stupid comment, blablabla :)

I bought this block, and now cant install it on my mother board, it claims to be able to install on a socket 462 but can not. I have an albatron KX18D pro II with an AMD xp 3200. If there is a way please let me know, I don't want to have to buy another block! Thank you,
Eric

I purchased the block from zipzoomfly. I have not contacted them as of yet. I'll let you know how it turns out thanks, Eric.

[zx600c]

That is the problem, no holes. I guess a little more research should have been done before I bought the block. Thanks for all the help. Eric

P.S. zipzoomfly is a great site, fast shipping and easy to order from, this is not there fault at all, I just overlooked the compatibility specs at the bottom.

Maybe you could make a metalbracket that fits on your motherboard holes. I've got the same problem, I hope it will work.
